Default Good tram thinking

Presumably since its only 1 tram it'll be identical to the trams
currently on the network?


If it's being combined with the Liverpool order, I would say probably
not - the order will have to be put out to tender in the OJEC, and AIUI
the most they could specify is compatibility with the current fleet.
That's why Strasbourg couldn't just order more Eurotrams from
Bombardier - and in fact ended up ordering compatible (and visually
similar) Citadis from Alstom.

All rather confusing, really.
